    Hi!

    I uploaded and installed all n one SEO but it's not what i am looking for. It does everything automaticly.
    I am looking for a method to make single and special links no follow. Anyone an idea?

    I am not sure, but does one have to edit robots.txt file for this?

    you can try the plugin : duplicate content cure as the robot will not index the page twice

    or you edit the : rel="nofollow" in the htaccess or file

    To avoid duplication you will need to make the categories and archives no follow

    kentuckyslone is right, all-in-one-seo plugin is the best way to do this. There is one option on the options page where you disable the indexing of the categories which is what you are trying to achieve with no-follow.

    If I understand correctly you are wanting to make some categories and archives nofollow, and others dofollow at the same time. I am not sure why you would want to do this, but it can be done.
    I doubt there is a plugin out there to do the job, so I would edit your template file. Remove the bit of code that paces the categories dynamically and add your own html linking to your categories and archives. You can then add the nofollow tage wherever you want.

    By doing this you sacrifice your template updating your category list and archives with new items, so you will have to add them manually.

    I tryed the All in one SEO option you mentioned. It does not make links nofollow. I use a firefox plugin that checks that. It highlights nofollow links and it shows nothing on my blog.

    The most recent all-in-one-seo plugin is amazing. I just added it to my sites and I think that the new features they put in are the best.
